Really I just don't get it, find the whole act repulsive, can't watch anything related even in an ironic post modernist poke at reality tv nonsense sort of fashion. Same goes for David Walliams actually. They both just give me the creeps. Anyone else or do I need a new sense of humour?

YANBU. Keith Lemon was funny for ten minutes a long time ago, now it's just Hmm.

valiumredhead · 06/06/2013 08:36

I agree x100.

ScarletLady02 · 06/06/2013 08:39

I don't get it either...but then I couldn't stand Bo Selecta either and could never get why everyone used to rave about it so much.

Sparklingbrook · 06/06/2013 08:41

I do love 'Proper Crimbo' though. Blush

SkinnybitchWannabe · 06/06/2013 08:43

They are both hilarious.

FrenchRuby · 06/06/2013 08:54

No I don't get Keith Lemon, he's just not funny to me. I like more of a Noel Fielding style of comedy though, Keith Lemon isn't really my taste.

Me neither, the character repulsed me and the fact that a lot of mouth breathers think he's a real person I'd depressing.

EvenBetter · 06/06/2013 09:21

*find depressing
Just like autocorrect!

PiHigh · 06/06/2013 09:22

YANBU. I don't get it either.

Wishiwasanheiress · 06/06/2013 09:25

Me either. Complete arse and not funny. And the way holly w fearne wotsit and Kelly brook fawn over him makes me dislike and disregard them too. Hideous.

confusedmuch · 06/06/2013 10:00

so glad it's not just me!

He cracks me up, I love him Grin

floatyfloni · 06/06/2013 10:03

Love Keith lemon. Only watch him on celeb juice though. Haven't seen is film and what not

Never a huge fan of bo selecta though.

alexwol · 06/06/2013 10:04

It's puerile nonsense, he says the rudest and most shocking things he can think of, which is, frankly, boring. I've never liked David Walliams either.

WildlingPrincess · 06/06/2013 10:08

YANBU!! I don't get Mrs Browns Boys either. Or David Walliams. There's clearly something wrong with me. Grin

scortja · 06/06/2013 10:09

Looking at David Walliams makes me feel physically ill..

I know i shouldnt like him at my age but i dont think i laugh as much at anything as i do when i watch Celebrity Juice!

He's very funny.

confusedmuch · 06/06/2013 10:13

I actually think Mrs Brown's Boys is quite funny but does cross the line occasionally...

I'm boring aren't I?

MackerelOfFact · 06/06/2013 10:27

I don't get Keith Lemon at all, nor did I get Bo Selecta or Avid Merrion or any other of his frankly creepy alter egos.

Was also never a fan of Ali G/Borat/Bruno etc. I just find 'character' comics a bit odd.

Walliams is good though, I always like a good sketch show.

Kasterborous · 06/06/2013 10:30

I like Keith Lemon, I find celebrity juice hilarious. But I can quite easily see why people don't like him, as he is sexist and very vulgar. Don't know what liking that says about me! Smile

Happiestinwellybobs · 06/06/2013 10:33

Me too - same goes for Mrs Brown's Boys. I did give it a try because everyone in the office was raving about it but nope, just don't get it.

LessMissAbs · 06/06/2013 11:32

I find him off-putting. Maybe he scares big name stars into cooperating with him because the opposite is even more frightening? And the big name stars attract the audience?

squoosh · 06/06/2013 11:35

Thank you OP, I was thinking the exact same thing last night.

He must have major dirt on whomever commissions comedy at ITV. There is no other explanation.

There are so many comedians that I don?t find even remotely funny, but I can appreciate that they appeal to a different sense of humour.

With Keith Lemon though I cannot see one, single thing in his act that anyone with half a brain would find funny. It?s painful to watch and almost makes me angry.

I?d even find Jim Davidson funnier and he?s a racist, violent, dodgy, dodgy, dodgy, colossally unfunny prick.

(I don't mind David Walliams though, he looks a bit creepy, but he makes me giggle)
